Bless This Mess

Scrapbook: Stroller Ride

These photos were taken back in June, when we had a brief cold spell in between two hot spells regularly known as “summer.” This year it actually rained when the local schools were having their graduations–something we hadn’t dealt with before at the school I still worked at. The weather was strange.

This particular day I’d dressed her in shorts and a t-shirt, and when she asked to go for a walk in the stroller, I had to put socks and legwarmers on her. Because she was very into playing “baby” (I blame her obsession with the Babies documentary) she wanted to be wrapped up in the blanket, too, even though I didn’t think it was necessary.

As we strolled through the neighborhood we passed a man doing heavy yard work in his front yard. He was shirtless and sweaty. Isobel took one look at him and shouted from her stroller, “MOMMY, HE’S NAKED!”
